THE FRESHMAN NINE.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- I have noticed in late issues of the CRIMSON what seemed to me to be an unjust spirit in the criticisms on the freshman nine. While it is true that the nine has been a failure as far as Yale games are concerned, some credit should be given them for the faithful work they have done in training. There is not enough base-ball material in the class to form a good nine, but with what there was the captain has done all that was possible, and has been greatly helped by the readiness of the nine to do all that was required of them to the best of their ability.

The freshmen have not had the same chance that their predecessors had, since only one game of the series has been played, and that game was in New Haven where every freshman nine has been defeated. No one claims that our freshman nine is stronger than yale's, but it is plainly no more than justice that the series should be played and the Harvard freshmen given a chance of winning it. Whether our freshmen would win or lose, it is a little previous to jump on them before they have had a fair chance.
